Glen Lednock, Comrie

A satisfying but gentle walk with just one short, steep, demanding climb was the order of a humid afternoon. Starting from the 18th century weaving village of Comrie, which is in part an architectural conservation area, the first half of the walk is through a deep wooded glen, accompanied by the sound of tumbling waters and with small detours down to overviews of rapids and waterfalls. The way through the glen rises gently on to moorland before crossing over the river Lednock for the return journey through the pine carpeted, dark and silent forrest of Laggan Wood, hanging above the glen.

Scotland Coast to Coast

A fantastic 5 day canoe expedition along the Great Glen working for Beyond Adventure and Wilderness Scotland. Starting at Neptunes Stair Case at Banavie then on to Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness with 22 miles of man made canals, finishing in Inverness. Photos don't really do it justice but its a start.
